Puma Sportswear and Footwear

Puma is a German multinational corporation that designs and manufactures athletic and casual footwear, apparel, and accessories. Founded in 1948 by Rudolf Dassler, it originated from the Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory, which he co-founded with his brother Adolf 'Adi' Dassler in 1924. The brothers split in 1948, leading to the creation of two separate entities: Adidas and Puma. Puma's headquarters are in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, Germany. In 2013, French luxury group Kering S.A. acquired a 27% stake in Puma, eventually becoming its majority shareholder. Kering S.A. is headquartered in Paris, France, and is known for owning several high-end brands. Puma's products are manufactured in multiple countries worldwide, including Germany, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. The company has a global presence, with offices and facilities in various countries.
